Війна закінчиться тоді, коли Україна поверне собі Донбас і Крим.

The Ukrainian president added that combat operations in the conflict zone would be carried out "for as long as it is necessary."
Crimea seceded from Ukraine and reunified with Russia in March 2014 following a referendum, in which more than 96 percent of the peninsula's population voted to rejoin Russia.
A month later, Kiev launched a military operation in Ukraine's eastern regions against local independence supporters who refused to recognize the new government that came to power after a February coup.
The military operation launched by Kiev, has claimed more than 6,000 lives, according to the United Nations.
In February, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany met in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, for talks on Ukrainian reconciliation. The talks resulted in a ceasefire agreement between Kiev and the self-proclaimed people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk (DPR and LPR). The deal also stipulates measures aimed at decentralizing power in Ukraine, giving more autonomy to DPR and LPR.

Найоптимальніший сценарій для України - припинити війну та повернути Донбас мирним шляхом.

I think he's lying and bullshitting. In other words, saying what his 'masters' want him to say. Hopefully he'll say something different behind closed doors. But there's no guarantee that he has that option any more, or the privacy to do so.
